Whats the best water test kit to buy?

Liquid tests are preferred to strip tests as people have found them more accurate.. so try and grab a API Liquid test kit.

If you want the best home kit sub £50 your buying sailferts without doubt

When it comes to choosing the best water test kit or any water test kit (at that) within your home aquarium, it's important that it's user-friendly and comprehensive enough for you to utilize as well as for keeping your pet fish healthy, happy and stress-free!

I think you will find these very inaccurate just search and see how many have poor results using API

To be honest, My parameters have always been spot on with API, Never had issues, I have used Nutrafin also which gave me poor results. I have regularly crossed checked with my LFS who are brilliant for the checks. Just because a few have issues with API doesnt mean that it should be dismissed as a legititmate Test kit, we all know nitrate tests are poor due to there inaccuracy, but this is across the board for most brands of test kit. I dont dispute the Sailferts is a better brand, however in terms of affordability, £50 is steep for the majority who do not wish to break the bank when they consider a test kit. My recomendation for API comes from my own personal success, so I will continue to suggest this product

+3 for API, I have never had any issues with it. Great bit of kit & at an afordable price, especialy if sourced from ebay or the like.

+2 for sailfert, easy to use, and not so expensive if you shop around, but agreed, more than API.

If Api was the only test kit in its price range i would agree but its not the sailferts are like £8 more for the whole kit why on would buy a API when the sailferts are so much less hassle and more accurate. I dont want to turn it into a API bashing thread, my point is sailferts are better and they cost not alot more so why would you go API? (unless in the USA ofc where they far far more expensive)

I'm keen to buy sailferts nitrate test kit as I hear it's far easier to use than the API test kit one I have.
